Espionage 2 / Evernote Template Issue
February 10, 2012, 11:36:05 AM
Greetings,

I've been using Evernote for a bit now and would like to have it under Espionage's protection. However, when I try to create a new set from the Evernote application template I get an error/warning: [attachment=0:1po9urs7]Screen Shot 2012-02-10 at 12.32.46.png[/attachment:1po9urs7] from Espionage which makes me concerned the template is out of date and may miss some new directory structure for Evernote.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there an updated template someplace, or do I have to track down all of Evernote's directories manually?

Thanks,

Levi

Hi Marty,

Yeah, I'm aware of the "lock on quit" functionality and that's great stuff.  The meat of my proposal is that I want to have an application association which unlocks the store when the app is launched, but instead of asking for a password it unlocks it automatically (since the password is stored in the already unlocked Espionage keychain), and have the store lock automatically when the app is quit (as it does today).

Make sense?  Am I missing this as a currently available feature?

Cheers,

Levi

Hi Mike,

I do understand that the unlocked stores are available to all apps, and that's exactly why I'd like to limit the time they are unlocked. If I use the unlock at login, then the store is unlocked all the time regardless of if the associated app is running or not (and without an auto-lock feature, like my other post, the store remains unlocked unnecessarily the entire time I'm logged in).

I'm not sure how to mitigate the risk of data corruption should a file be open on a store when a lock is requested for that store... I'll defer to you guys.  But, in the cases when the store is app specific (BBEdit Backups, Mail, etc.) it's less likely that anything else will be accessing the files.

Cheers,

Understood, but couldn't all those background tasks be notified similarly (if not identically) to a request to "eject" (unmount) the volume?

Thanks Mike.

I'll hope you guys can get to it soon, since this feature will be key in making security less invasive for my less security minded friends, family, and co-workers.

Cheers,

I too am interested in an auto-locking feature.

The mentioned thread talks about locking when the computer is shutdown, user logs out & power failure, and talks about not being able to autolock folders which may be in use by an application... all good stuff, but I think there's still room for an auto-lock feature, and I'd personally love to see it implemented.

Specifically, consider this use case:

I have a folder with my documents in it.  This folder does not have any application associations. I would like to navigate to the folder, have it unlock as normal, open files and work with them, but after some configurable period of inactivity (and no open files) have the folder lock (with the added bonus of not staying open if the access is only a Finder browser window).

This seems like a reasonable, and common, use case.

Thoughts?

Hey Mike,

Sorry, I've had a moment to play a little bit more and I think I now understand a bit better...

The white list is for applications that don't want access to the content of the protected store, but instead should just have the ability to access the encrypted disk image directly (without unlocking it) without /trying/ to unlock it... gotcha.

So... it looks like my only option is to have the protected store unlocked at login... not a fan.  Can I request a feature then, to have the store unlocked with the password from the keychain for that store as a configuration?  Perhaps tied to application associations?  But I can envision some wanting to access stores manually without unlocking them directly as well.

Cheers,

Levi

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure we're communicating, however.

If I add an app to the whitelist there is no prompt for the store specific password (the Espionage keychain is unlocked by me at login), so I can do what I want if I add the app (BBEdit in this case) to the white list.  My concern is that I don't want BBEdit to have whitelisted access to *any* store, just the one(s) I configure.

Does that make any more sense?

Cheers,

Levi

Espionage 2 / Non-global whitelist?

Hi all,

Is there a way to support opening a protected app specific store automatically without adding the app to the global white list?

Scenario:
I have a protected folder called "BBEdit Backups" which I only need unencrypted when BBEdit is running.  I do not want to have this unencrypted at login (no need, not as secure as only when BBEdit is running, etc.). Presently, I do not have BBEdit added to the whitelist, and I have the "BBEdit Backups" protected folder tied to BBEdit, so when I launch BBEdit I get prompted for the password for the protected folder.  I'd rather not get prompted, but the only solutions I can come up with are to add BBEdit to the global whitelist, which I'd rather not do, or to decrypt the store at login, which I would also rather not do.

Thanks,

Levi
